Coordination of climate isuues in some european cities

o Questionnaire was sent by eurocities environment forum in october 2012

o 11 cities respondedo The summary will be sent to all citieso The main task was to get to know the situation of

climate organisation, especially in forerunner cities

Climate mitigation action plan

o Tampere: Yes, ECO2-projecto Turku: Yes, Climate and Environmental Programme 2009

– 2013o Utrecht: Yes, Action plan Utrecht Energy! o Mannheim: Yes, Climate Protection Conception 2020o Frankfurt am Main: Yes, Mid term climate protection plano Aarhus: partial implementation plans, which have a

clear financeo Glasgow: Yes, Climate Change Strategy13, annual

followupo Stockholm: Yes, Stockholm Comprehensive City Plan

2010-2020 o Helsinki: separate programmes, some have financial

plans

Climate coordination in citieso Tampere: ECO2-project, 4 emplyoyees, situated in city administrationo Turku: Coordination-group of departments, no vacant employees, now

about 3 persons o Utrecht: Programma administration Utrecht Energy! 5 persons

coordinates co-operation with different departmentso Mannheim: 11 people in coordination group, which complements out of

experts on offices, Environment centre co-ordinateso Frankfurt am Main: Energy office 10 persons responsible for energy

saving in private sector, 9 in public buildingso Aarhus: Environment centre’s 6 persons climate unit co-ordinates

city’s climate worko Glasgow: 25 people in central administration of city in sustainable

development unit coordinates o Stockholm: In city’s centra goverrnment 2 persons in cooperation with

environment centre (10 persons) o Helsinki: departments have their own roles-> future, environment

centre coordinates?

Finance of climate and energy efficiency work?

• Some cities have almost 100% on their own budget• Other sources:1. Helsinki: State (ministries, Sitra) and EU 2. Tampere: support from Sitra, Tekes ja EU3. Utrecht: EU-finance (interreg). 4. Mannheim: State support, national support 5. Frankfurt am Main: Other finance less than 10 % of total budget. IEE-projects,

joint finance from German environmental ministry and EU6. Aarhus : State support, also partners finance climate work 7. Glasgow: UK:n ja Scotland government loans and support for CO2 reduction

and energy efficiency work8. Turku: Tekes, ministries and EU (EAKR)

Annual budget? Is there separate project budget?

• Figures are hard to compare as they include different measures

Does the city own its energy company?

Summaryo Climate goal for Helsinki in 2020 is not very ambitiouso All cities responding the governance of climate issues was in

city central administration, environment cetnre or co-operation network of deparments

o The financing of city owned buildings’ energy efficiency work was in good level

o Total level of finance in climate work was ordinary, but in Helsinki it was often based on projects, not stable financiation

o Helsinki finances mainly only the energy efficiency work of its own buildings, other cities use a significant amoun also on private sector’s energy measures

o Informing of public has been project based in Helsinki compared with well-established work in other cities, but now the finance should be secured (Climate Info)

o Helsinki (and other Finnish cities) has a very good possibility to effect on energy production as it owns the only energy company in the city (produces 90 % of heating need and 130 % of electricity need in city area)
